HCP Packer has released two new features to its channels, providing platform teams with more visibility into their artifact estate and shortening times to remediation. Channels allow for versioning and tagging image artifacts to maintain up-to-date infrastructure, and the new restricted channel feature provides granular permissions control to limit access to channel updates. The channel overview page provides a centralized location for reviewing details on an iteration, while the channel assignment history page tracks activity in a channel and allows for quicker remediation of released artifacts through rollback. Additionally, HCP Packer's integration with Terraform Cloud enables users to simplify the creation of golden images and track image metadata and storage location.
